I visited this facility

I had a very good experience at Silver Creek Terrace when I went there for a visit. I met with the manager who is also a nurse and spent about an hour touring me around the facility. We sat down, and she told me about the cost and the services. She was very open and very direct. The rooms were very attractive, and there's a lot of greenery around the facility.

They had fantastic care for my mother! She has Alzheimer's and the staff was very knowledgeable about the topic and had many different ways to help her. They were super nice and created the best environment possible.

I visited this facility

I was much younger when visiting the facility. We were getting ready to visit it while singing Christmas carols to the members. The facility itself was very nice and the staff seemed to not be overwhelmed with the amount of residents. We all sang and visit the rooms and the tenets seems very happy to see us. The rooms looked comfortable and most patients seemed generally happy.
